Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

It's absolutely insane, here a "pædagog" education is required, and English doesn't even have a word for that! But suggests kindergarten teacher.

I used a translator for the first paragraph:
A pædagog is trained to work with both children and grown ups.
WTF America? how can you not have a term and an education for that?
We actually do have the same word with a different meaning behind it. I'm just gonna link the Webster site for this one. Since it has little to do with the greater point I shall make.

Regardless we do have a term for these usually it'll be something along the lines of "education councilor" or something vaguely similar depending on what they actually specialize in. We do have folks educated in such contexts be it social workers, guidance councilor, or some other such naming, they just aren't focused on culturally.
Also don't assume that just cause English and especially American English dialects doesn't have dedicated words for a concept doesn't mean we don't have the concept. English is at times worse than the other Germanic tongues when it comes to compound wording to the point that some of our words have outright been lost because the compound was more useful.
Edit: Just to add to my point, a lot of these "schools" circumnavigate legal requirements. That's not even accounting for corruption or political alignment creating cut outs for these facilities. Fun fact unless something has changed Utah has the highest number of these shit holes, because there's nothing more morally corrosive and abusive than Mormons with money.
